✨We are excited to invite you to our upcoming hfuu workshop focusing on citrus pruning and care hosted by CTAHR wailua ag station at 10 am, august 17th!
✨The workshop will be led by David Whatmore who is a wealth of knowledge and experience in fruit farming. He has 40 years of experience in tending a 2.5 acre citrus orchard with 500 close spaced trees on the north shore of kaua’i. David uses an evidence based approach as a scientist, and is constantly learning. He has also studied with top experts in California and Florida while farming here.
✨Our workshop will touch upon fertilizing, variety selection, grafting, as well as citrus diseases and pests because these are crucial to be aware of.
✨This event is free of charge for current hfuu members, and 20$ for non members. New members are welcomed the day of workshop. No rsvp required.
✨There will be a locally powered lunch provided for everyone, as well as a limited supply of fresh trifoliata seeds. Trifoliata is widely used for citrus rootstock as it offers disease resistance, particularly to citrus nematodes and phytophera and performs well in heavier clay and loamy soils.

Directions: 7370 kuamo’o road, wailua.

We are hosting a forest to plate fundraiser dinner! 🌴🥭🥂✨

Join us in the peak of July for a beautifully crafted dinner at the Princeville Botanical Garden. A five course meal brought to life directly from the seasonal bounty of the Food Forest will be served, showcasing the evolution of some of its most important plants and moments. By supporting us on this special occasion, you are helping us continuing our mission to take care of people, plants and the land. The funds raised from this event will be combined with generous donations already made to finalize the purchase of a mower and related maintenance and fuel fund.

⏰ : Arrival 4:00 - 5:00pm. End 8:00pm.

🕺🏼 : 30 seats, reservation only. First come first served.

🎟 : $200 for individual seats, $350 for two seats. Seats at these prices will fully fund our goal. Special rate seats $100. This ticket type will only partially fund our goal yet make it possible to attend if regular ticket price is unaffordable.

There will be a silent auction of specially selected products and services donated by local community businesses and individuals.

If you can not be present and want to show support, there is our GoFundMe page.

The Kaua’i Food Forest is hosting a forest to plate dinner as a fundraiser for a new & much needed mower.
